Dress Alterations.

Anyone who knows me know I wear my clothes until they literally fall apart. I bought a whole heap of clothes, all the same style when they were on special 12 years ago. Time to alter the last lot to wear. They had long sleeves until yesterday, the armholes have been finished but now I need to alter the shoulders. I will be cutting them apart and taking away 1 1/2 inches and then sewing them back together with a french seam to finish.

Very Excited!

I just adore Jodie Carletons' designs, this clock I have lusted after for quite a while, (not ashamed to say it!) but I find it quite hard to buy things for myself, for charity I have no problem! When I saw it in real life at Crafty Hijinks, I knew I had to have it, so here it is! I am using wool and linen scraps I have been saving from past projects, thrifted wool jackets, no piece is too small to keep, some have been over dyed and shrunk to add more texture and colour to my stash.
Jodies' patterns can be found here,

When I was writing up my blog the post before this I saw that I had reached a very cool milestone, Since I started blogging I have made 1111 posts! So to celebrate I thought of this, 
Would you like a 16 hour Craft Clock for Christmas?
